The Principal easily gets Idiot of The Year Award. (spoilers)


She sees a dilapidated house, enters even though there's a abnormal odor emanating from the house, sees a locked door she decides to open, and notices blood on the walls as she's going up the stairs. She sees no reason to call authorities after all that? But that's okay. Her stupidity only cost her her life.

Honorable mention to Dan the cop. He knows people are getting eaten, hears "noises" coming from the shed, and decides to go on in alone anyway. Also pays the price for stupidity.

It was a pretty decent movie, tho. They did make a effort to flesh out the characters, but at the expense of horror element. Once again, a white woman saves the day.

Yeah. For a person who works in education, she was a big time bozo.

Yea, I thought the same thing but it was nice to see Amy Madigan. It is a decent movie except for those stupid moments. Wendi go is great. Didn’t know it was produced by Del Toro until the end.

Watched this scene and had to come here and see if there was a discussion on just how effing stupid this lady was. And sure enough ... Here it is. Nicely done. What more needs to be said?I'm very glad she's dead.

I interpret it that she heard the small brother and she of course saw that there is imminent danger for the boy. OK, it is the US, where you get shot, but in Europe you would act similar. Of course nowadays first call police and then rescue the boy, but I would also not wait to rescue the boy. You don't expect a Zombie killing you, but I also never handled Meth junkies.
